Deactivating Of Access Card

I was in the email loop between RA and Paramount. Our RA has just submitted a name list of resident who failed to pay up the maintenance fee and subject to deactivating access card. I normally have strong faith on RA committee member to carry out important task especially record keeping.




To my very surprise, I saw my name appeared on the list. I have paid up the outstanding and signed up for the auto payment service. I accept human error on this one. However, again..it's the way RA handling the issue. If you are not very sure whether the list is error free, you could have published the name list on this forum and give people a chance to look at it before sending the list to Paramount.

I wish I do not need to lecture whoever doing this again. For those who have paid up but not very sure whether their name on the aging list, you could PM me your name and your house number and road number. I could help to you check before they deactivate your card.

When RA take over the management, we are in serious need of scrutinizing the account monthly. We don't want to see missing zero in our account.

Hi Andy,
While it is commendable you did take time to inform all about the deactivation, I also need to remind you that communicating through this channel is subjected to everyone's view.

Therefore, be cautious in putting your thoughts unless you have specific intentions in mind. Although I am not the one who provides the list, and I do believe that it was not from any of the RA committee as well, others reading it may have a different perception of our RA committee.

The list I believe came from the developer - PPDSB, and probably the list was given dated prior when your account was still outstanding.

Perhaps, in future on issues which can be sensitive, please check and verify the facts with the respective RA committee for the right perspective before blasting out. In this case, have you verified with the person that provided you the list?

Thanks or reading my thoughts and Have a nice day everyone!

Hi GKM,

If you read my comments carefully I did mention I was in the email loop when our President Toh sent out the list to Agnes informing her to deactivate the access card accordingly. I have also mentioned that I accept human errors in compiling the list but again it is the approach of RA in handling issue.

Are you trying to say the list was not being checked by RA committee? Or the RA has no ownership of the list? Even though everyone is too busy to check, at least someone who has the list in hand should have the courtesy to circulate it within the RA committee before sending it to Paramount instructing to deactivate the card. The list could have been circulated among the RA committee member to make sure the members are not on the list because President Toh has many times highlighted to committee members MUST pay the maintenance fee with NO EXCUSE. I always put President Toh's words very close to my heart. I have paid the fee on 28th March 09 and it is almost a month ago. It's still a myth why the list not updated and I am not interested to know why. However, I want to know why can't RA post the name list on the forum or any means to allow the residents to double check before taking action. Due to the mistakes from someone, it does cause me inconveniences to to call up Paramount in the early morning in concern of having my access card deactivated.

I am not throwing frustration or grievance in this forum but just to inform the residents about the list and so that they could make effort to check to avoid becoming the next victim.

When making a mistake just admit it and learn from there and RA is no exception. We shall careless of what the other think about RA as long as we are playing our roles right. This forum is meant construe facts and not for popularity contest. Sorry to say that I am not used to cheer leading.

Hi Andy,

I believed that you have make a wrong assumption that RA is the one who present the deactivation list to Paramount. Read your email carefully as it was indeed vice-versa.

I am not the person to hold back informations. The moment i received any latest update from Paramount & perhaps others, i will quickly forward to all my RA members ( include you which was in out latest email loops). I want all issues of RA to be transparent with NO Hidden Agenda .

We are only acting on behalf of our beloved Residents.

Hence whatever informations i passed on in the email loops , need to be scrutinized & reverted by RA members with comments ( IF ANY). This was our standard practice for the past.

I did explained well to you over your missed call & text to me. No big issues, Its Human Error. Furthermore after your confrontation to Miss Agnes , there is another mails forwarded to you guys from Agnes of Paramount informing the errors.Since you are already one of our RA members, Feel free to call & discussed with me prior posting comment over the forum.( May be chat over our email loops). Otherwise our residents will be confused.


Thank you & God bless you

Hi Toh,

Thanks for explaining. We will move on from here.

Andy

Hello everyone. I feel it is a good idea to publish the address of the defaulters in this forum as it will give added pressure on the defaulters to pay up. As this is the last term that Paramount will be 'in-charge', it is pertinent that the RA be firm on this issue as the RA will be handling collections from next year onwards. We would ideally want to have a good start and set the system of collections and effects of non payment clearly for all to see.

Just my 2 cents.

Hi ktbc, Thank you for your suggestion but i think is not appropriate to review all defaulters names in this blog. We dont wish to embarrass anybody publicly. But as i have mentioned earlier , RA members shall give them a courtesy visit & follow up for payment.

Review thier names Publicly will be our last resource which i hope & deem is not necessarily.

For sure all RA members do have a list of defaulters provided by Paramount.

Thank You.
